It’s about time for Okay-pop to start out unveiling its particular winter songs. We haven’t had too many but this 12 months. tripleS launched a observe video final week and Rainbow18 stealthily dropped an unpromoted, Sweetune-produced (!) carol that even handed me by. Now, fromis_9 have taken the baton with White Recollections (하얀 그리움), their soundtrack to the vacation season.
Relating to this sort of music, my choice typically leans towards the intense and buoyant. A pleasant, stark piano ballad might be welcome too, however an upbeat “deck the halls” second with just a bit camp normally will get the job finished. White Recollections matches this temporary, including loads of sweet floss manufacturing to its candy, poppy melodies. Okay-pop’s woman teams don’t typically sound like this anymore, and it’s a disgrace that it takes a Christmas launch to drag out the melody and pile on the instrumental treats.
White Recollections thrives on its sense of heat nostalgia. It doesn’t do something totally different than you’d count on, however that’s the attraction of custom. The truth is, I’d be remiss in not mentioning that this music is definitely a remake of a 2001 observe by singer/actor Kim Min Jong. You’ll be able to hear that within the melodies, which have a broad, singalong high quality that was highly regarded in that period of Okay-pop.
